I'm seriously considering taking the 2 exams to get the "MCSE:Messaging"
Exchange specialty for my MCSE on 2000/2003.  Why?

I think nothing is more powerful of a message to a prospective client
than a fully and _current_Microsoft_product_ certified specialist
saying, "don't run this shit."

This is just an extension of my wearing my MCSE shirt on day 1 of any
Linux training.  Why?  Typically because the "non-technical management"
is in the room, and there's nothing more powerful than a MCSE talking
about the _real_ limitations of Windows Servers.

P.S.  For those that got upset with me previously, please understand:

1)  I don't flaunt my certs (I only poke fun of them)
2)  I don't think I'm "better" than anyone because I'm a traditional
engineer (and make fun of the "bridge builders" in most state BoPEs)

I think my _technical_ experience and knowledge speaks for itself,
_regardless_ of petty certs or "theory-based" education.  Thanx for
understanding.

     Linux Enthusiasts call me anti-Linux.
   Windows Enthusisats call me anti-Microsoft.
 They both must be correct because I have over a
decade of experience with both in mission critical
environments, resulting in a bigotry dedicated to
 mitigating risk and focusing on technologies ...
           not products or vendors
